I’ve got to fix a bug on an old Rails 2.3.8 project and I’m running in to trouble loading the development environment.
I’ve converted the project to use bundler, here is my Gemfile:
source :gemcutter
gem "rails", "2.3.8"
gem "pg"
gem 'rdoc'
gem "haml"
gem "will_paginate", '~> 2.3.11'
# RESTful ACL support.
gem "restful_acl", "3.0.4"
# awesome nested set for sub categories
gem "awesome_nested_set", "< 2.0"
# rspec tests
gem 'machinist', "< 2.0"
gem "rspec", "1.3.0"
gem "rspec-rails", "1.3.2"
gem "test-unit"
# Deployment
gem "capistrano"
When I start the server with ‘script/server’ and load the website up I get the following error

I’ve tried remarking out the sessions controller and it doesn’t change the error.
I guess you were using ruby 1.8.7, and now you are trying to use 1.9.3 which has different YAML parser: http://blog.tddium.com/2011/12/01/psych-isnt-syck/
Also note that rails 2.3 does not support ruby 1.9.3. It would be easiest to use ruby 1.8.7.
Switch to ruby 1.9.2 should not be hard, you would probably need utf8 patch: http://blog.kennejima.com/post/835166063/making-ruby-1-9-rails-2-3-to-play-nice-with-utf-8
Using rails 2.3 with ruby 1.9.3 is not that easy, see: http://developer.uservoice.com/blog/2012/03/04/how-to-upgrade-a-rails-2-3-app-to-ruby-1-9-3/
